Exploring the world of cinema.

This means any films I’m assigned to review – big or small – will be exclusive to the site. If you’re interested enough to support me over there, that would be awesome. I’ll still be posting reviews on this blog, but UK Film Review is where my focus is at the moment. Continue reading “Hello… Here’s a quick update.”→

★★★ – “The evolution of Gadot’s Wonder Woman is inspiring to watch.”

Before she was Wonder Woman she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained warrior. When a pilot crashes and tells of conflict in the outside world, she leaves home to fight a war to end all wars, discovering her full powers and true destiny.

It’s been 14 years since we first met Jack Sparrow on the big-screen. Johnny Depp handed in a truly unique and intricate performance that earned him a nomination for Best Actor at The Academy. The first film was a genuine surprise for everyone, followed up graciously with two fantastically fun sequels shot back-to-back. 6 years ago, a stand-alone sequel (On Stranger Tides) was released, with it came a disappointing response. Jack Sparrow’s solo outing was still mostly enjoyable, but the magic of the first three instalments was lost, largely due to the absence of the original cast. After years of waiting, we are able to return to the world of Pirates.Continue reading “Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge (2017) – Review”→

The crew of a colony ship, bound for a remote planet, discover an uncharted paradise with a threat beyond their imagination, and must attempt a harrowing escape.

After the lacklustre Prometheus in 2012, I had no good expectations going into Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant. Apart from a few decently tense scenes and beautiful visuals, Prometheus was a mindless action/adventure flick set in the world of Alien. It’s worth noting that I’m not overly keen on the franchise as a whole, so I’m biased. However, I do appreciate what Ridley Scott did with the original 1979 film.Continue reading “Alien: Covenant (2017) – Review”→

★★★★★ – “A truly terrifying picture.”

In German-occupied Poland during World War II, Oskar Schindler gradually becomes concerned for his Jewish workforce after witnessing their persecution by the Nazi Germans.

Steven Spielberg’s horrifically harrowing Schindler’s List isn’t just a critically acclaimed, award-winning masterpiece. This is a documentary of real life events, a truly terrifying picture which chronicles The Holocaust, within the most destructive period of our time. A time that must never be repeated. Captured masterfully in black-and-white celluloid with handheld cameras, Schindler’s List follows Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson), a German industrialist who begins to feel concerned for his Jewish workforce, leading to an emotionally captivating story that evolves continuously as Steven Zaillian’s beautiful screenplay culminates to one of Schindler’s final heartbreaking lines: “I could have got more out. I could have got more. I don’t know. If I’d just… I could have got more.”Continue reading “Schindler’s List (1993) – Review”→
